Abstract

We develop a technique for calculating the Wielandt subgroup of a semidirect product of two finite groups of coprime order. We apply this technique to calculate the Wielandt length of a supersoluble group in terms of the Wielandt lengths of its Sylow subgroups (for small Wielandt lengths) and in terms of the nilpotency classes of its Sylow subgroups.
